I think you're right in being a little hesitant about "queerspawn." A lot of teen/adult children of LGBT parents seem to embrace it--but I sense that others find it too "in your face." The previous commenters had some good suggestions, though. At the moment, I'm favoring a variation of Holly's “children and youth of LGBTQ communities”: "children, youth, and allies of LGBTQ communities." Hi, Candace,

Thank you for taking the time to comment here. I think you’re right in being a little hesitant about “queerspawn.” A lot of teen/adult children of LGBT parents seem to embrace it–but I sense that others find it too “in your face.”

The previous commenters had some good suggestions, though. At the moment, I’m favoring a variation of Holly’s “children and youth of LGBTQ communities”: “children, youth, and allies of LGBTQ communities.”

I know that Abigail and others have used the term "queer spawn" - would that be acceptable, is it known widely enough? Not sure when we'd implement the changes but I do know its important we accurately describe the content of the database so it is functional.

That would encompass both those related to LGBT parents, and those related to the LGBT community by virtue of them choosing to be active for LGBT rights.
